Sydney offers a spectacular harbor, the world-famous Opera House, fabulous shopping, cosmopolitan cuisine, and lively nightlife. For a unique thrill, perhaps you can climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Known for adventure, Queenstown is a marvelous city set in the magnificent landscapes of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Here, enjoy a cruise on Lake Wakatipu. From the sun-scorched desert of the Outback to the tropical Great Barrier Reef and from the smaller destinations in New Zealand to the cosmopolitan cities in Australia, this vacation is sure to leave you with lots of stories and memories to share.
